I shall be discussing how one can recognize how to distinguish spirits or entities one is intent on summoning or interacting with from one pretending to be; to tell the real deal from the impostor(s).

Let me start off by saying that this is notably prone (if applicable) to be the case with Necromancy. With other (higher) magickal systems such as Ceremonial Magick, this rarely- if at all- happens. By default, similar to interacting with a person, you can tell whether the entity is sincere & who they claim to be and whatnot using plain common sense; if they look, talk, act and do the part than they are- period.

Other than utilizing the aforementioned, things you can do the secure their ID:

• Take stock of their energy and how it feels; deceivers will not have the same energy as the original.
• Be aware of your approach; everything needs to be properly vetted and clearly outlined in relation to your ritualistic habits. Pitfalls are a no-no.
• Have protective barriers set in place & “grill” the person as a means of confirming their identity.
• Prepare & strengthen yourself thoroughly prior to your operation.
• See to it that you’re in an optimal state of mind, so no being in a bad mood or similar or distracted, etc.

Lastly, it is ill-advised to do any Magickal work without proper experience through learning how to generate, manage etc. energy- so don’t even think about it in general. Familiarize yourself with the basics and master them before you get to anything serious, such as the topic of this post. Any decent practitioner (with at least a pwr lvl 3) will be able to summon & know immediately whether the one they call upon is indeed Him/Her/It.
